Underwater Optical Wireless Communication (UOWC) has emerged as a promising technology for high-speed underwater data transmission, offering significantly higher bandwidth and lower latency compared to acoustic and Radio Frequency (RF) technologies. However, the underwater medium introduces severe impairments that degrade link performance and limit communication range. The growing complexity of these challenges has increased research interest in Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) approaches, which offer powerful tools for channel modeling, signal processing, and system adaptation in ways that conventional analytical methods struggle to achieve. This survey provides a comprehensive review of ML methods applied across the full UOWC system pipeline, covering channel modeling, transmitter design, receiver detection and equalization, link alignment, and emerging applications, including wireless power transfer, semantic communication, object detection, optical sensing, and localization. Finally, we discuss open challenges and future research directions to motivate further work in this rapidly growing field.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequenc...

An algorithm is proposed which leverages disentangled semantic factors to generate adversarial perturbation by altering controlled semantic attributes to fool the learner towards various "adversarial" targets.

This work proposes a HALO that directly maximizes the utility of generations instead of maximizing the log-likelihood of preferences, and suggests that the best loss depends on the inductive biases most appropriate for a given setting, an oft-overlooked consideration.
This state-of-practice investigation was performed using a literature review followed by a multiple-case study approach and presents how inconsistency between managerial strategies and execution can lead to failure by means of a behavioral framework.
